Must be one hell of a pain in the a%% trying to boil any significant amount of water in an altoids tin(or similar size)

To prevent dying of thirst while you boil 1 oz of water at a time I hope you have a ziploc bag and some puri-tabs.

Not to mention the chance of burning yourself trying to manipulate such a small tin over a fire. You got more patience than I do. I would stick to the puri-tabs with the foil as a back-up.



Sorry I forgot to mention it, this isn't an altoids tin, it's the tin that came with the proforce survival kit (although I changed pretty much everything that originally came inside it)

It's about 4.75" x 3.5" x 1" and holds approx 1 cup of water (a bit less realistically since it wouldn't be full to the brim)

I also have gerber bags and micropur MP1 in it smile
